Did an early version of Elton John's Saturday Night include the lyric "Saturday night's alright for fighting crosswords"? We don't know for certain, but we do know that today's crossword was an epic battle -- at least for Mike. Jean, as usual, found this to be a more of a minor skirmish. As we have come to expect from Adrian Johnson, author of today's puzzle, the clues had a lot of spice and bite. For example, 27D, High-level intelligence assets?, SPYPLANES (nice!); 25D, What sfouf is, in Lebanese cuisine, CAKE (we'll take two, please 😀); and 35D, Minor crashes?, NAPS (woah!). tldr: This crossword definitely pegged the JAMCR scale, and we eagerly await Adrian's next cruciverbial thrown down.Show notes imagery: Nissan Stadium, Home of the Tennessee TITANS<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1174559/open_sms">We love feedback!
